Plot Summaries:

This little volume contains three excellent short stories: 1. a public defender finds himself representing his old lover, who is charged with murder and pleads guilty 2. a blind violinist's jealous brother attempts to murder his brother's piano accompanyist 3. a young Noh performer meets his brother's murderer and discovers hate is more complicated than he thought - reviewed by MEverdark

Remarks:

Three really well written short stories. The emotional depth and complexity of the characters is impressive. The art tends towards heavy and solid rather than light and airy. The cover art is a good representation of the character designs. The little 2 page note at the end detailing the three major types of yaoi fans and advice for them is hysterically funny if you can read it.
